Ukukhula komnotho esifundeni sasePacific ngo-2009 kulindeleke ukuthi kwehle ngaphansi kwezibikezelo zangaphambili, kodwa kuzohlala kukuhle ku-2.8%, kusho incwadi entsha yase-Asian Development Bank (ADB) ekhishwe kuleli sonto.
Isimo sisalokhu simnyama, nokho, emnothweni omningi wase-Pacific Island. Uma amazwe anothile ngezinsiza zasePapua New Guinea naseTimor-Leste engabandakanywa, khona-ke ukukhula komnotho ePacific kubikezelwa ukuthi kuzoba nenkontileka ngo-0.4% kulo nyaka.
Umagazini wesibili we-Pacific Economic Monitor uthi iminotho emihlanu yasePacific - i-Cook Islands, i-Fiji Islands, i-Palau, i-Samoa, ne-Tonga - kulindeleke ukuthi inkontileka ngo-2009, ngenxa yezokuvakasha ezibuthakathaka kanye nemali ethunyelwayo.
I-Monitor ibuyekezwa njalo ngekota emazweni ayi-14 e-Pacific Island ehlinzeka ngesibuyekezo sentuthuko nezinkinga zenqubomgomo esifundeni.
Nakuba umnotho womhlaba ukhombisa izimpawu zokusimama, ukubambezeleka komthelela ePacific kusukela ekuwohlokeni komnotho e-USA, Australia naseNew Zealand – okuyizona minotho ezinkulu ezihwebelana nalesi sifunda – kungase kusho ukuthi umnotho wasePacific usazoshayeka phansi.
Lo mbiko uthi ukushesha kokusimama komnotho kuzoncika emandleni ohulumeni bakulesi sifunda ukuzijwayeza ukuwohloka komnotho.
“Imithelela yezomnotho neyezimali yenkinga yezomnotho yomhlaba ibonakala mikhulu kunalokho obekulindelwe kweminye iminotho,” kusho uS. Hafeez Rahman, uMqondisi Jikelele woMnyango we-ADB wasePacific. “Kunecala eliqinile lezinyathelo ezihlangene zokusimamisa umnotho wesifunda ontengayo kanye nokweseka izinguquko ukuze kuzuzwe ukusimama komnotho okusimeme.”
Ukusimama kwakamuva kwamanani entengo yamazwe ngamazwe kwezinye zezimpahla ezibalulekile, ikakhulukazi uwoyela ongahluziwe, kusiza ukuphakamisa okulindelwe ukukhula ePapua New Guinea naseTimor-Leste. Izintengo zelogi eziwayo zizoletha ukukhula okuyiziro e-Solomon Islands ngo-2009.
Izivakashi zase-Australia seziqala ukubuyela eziQhingini zaseFiji. Lokhu kungase kubambezele ukukhula kwezokuvakasha eziQhingini zaseCook, eSamoa, eTonga naseVanuatu kuze kuphele unyaka. Ukukhula okusesilinganisweni kwezokuvakasha kulindeleke kuzo zonke izindawo ezinkulu zezivakashi zasePacific ngo-2010.
Phakathi nengxenye yokuqala ka-2009, ukwehla kwamandla emali kwehle kulo lonke elasePacific, ngaphandle kwaseFiji Islands, ngenxa yokwehla kwamandla emali. Kodwa-ke, ukwenyuka kwakamuva kwamanani kawoyela ongahluziwe kungase kwenyuse ukwehla kwamandla emali esikhathini esisele sonyaka.
Idatha yasetshenziswa evela e-Australia, eNew Zealand, e-USA, nase-Asia ukuze kwenezele idatha evela esifundeni futhi inikeze ukuhlolwa kwakamuva kanye nokufakwa okubanzi komnotho wase-Pacific.
